Roots Lyrics

Yeah

These are my roots

These are my roots

These are the roots of America

Built on the back of my heritage

Pardon my arrogance

I think I might need a therapist

Twisting religion to privilege the Aryan

Building a nation with weight that we Carrying

Let's Take a peek at the culture today

What did you say

You just hit the store to go cop the new J's

They gentrify culture then lock us in cage

Man these are my

Yeah man

These are my roots

These are my roots

Man these are my roots

Yeah yeah yeah

Man pass me the loot

Cause corporate American profit off

Bodies they drop on the corner

They drugs in the spot

We pushing the drugs that y'all put on da block

We Staking these dollars but ending up shot

But soon as our eyes will be opened up

No more this potent stuff

Y'all gone be in for a show

We smack off ya hand cause the answer is no

What happens when we leave the roads that y'all paved

I know that Doc King is gone dance in his grave

I know that Nat King is gone jump from his stage

No more this policing we ain't gone behave

We need reformation to turn a new page

Why?

Cause these are my roots

Teched up with yo 42

Tell me what you finna do

Because these are my

ROOTS

I speak from the spirit of Till

It's clear that the system is failed

But these are my

"ROOTS"

We using our right to protest

For pain that we felt in our chest

Cause these are my

"ROOTS"

HA HOO

Ah oh

Verses I spit from the core of my roots

From the kink in my hair to the mud on my boots

Posting the booth and I'm speaking my truth

Double back on me

That subtle tunnel sight I see

Hold yo rebuttal

Let me speak

For the folk that got caught up and lost in the streets

Chasing a Diamond on Patek Philippe

Let's peep the perspective of homeland

When we had a voice and our own land

I pray that we see an atonement

Regardless, we got our own chance

Of building up peace on the land that we reap

Of giving some knowledge right back to the streets

And Sharing the wealth so that everyone eats

Feel grand mama clap as I rap on this beat

Man These are my roots

These are my roots

These are my roots

Man These are my roots
